Dr Sherylle Calder - Hand-eye Co-ordination Specialist

Every person has muscles in each eye that can be trained and improved. The process skills can also be improved, and response skills of eye-hand, foot and body co-ordination can be enhanced. When players see more, they can assess the situation much quicker, therefore exercising their options, and ultimately making better decisions. It must be noted that 80-90% of decisions made in sport are based upon visual information!

Developing visual skills includes learning to use both eyes together effectively. Having both eyes move, align and focus as a team enhances your ability to interpret and understand the potential visual information that is available to you. Initially, before you process information, you’ve got to get input and that input would involve judging where the ball is, in space, to be able to respond accurately. Once you see it correctly you can then process that information. So you can train the input skill and you can improve the processing skill and can also improve the response. Johnny Wilkinson says it gives him more time to make better decisions. All he needed was to improve his visual skills. (Health24 04/11/2005)
